He was booked into the Shawnee County Department of Corrections for aggravated assault, aggravated child endangerment, and felon in possession of a firearm, according to Ekis.

Taylor has previous convictions for aggravated battery and criminal possession of a firearm, according to the Kansas Department of Corrections.
